Chapter 738: Scheming Cousin and Cold-blooded General 14
*
When Liuyue came back from outside, she didn't find Xiaobai. She couldn't even find it in the pavilion where it usually slept.
However, Xiaobai had sneaked into the mansion from outside before, and he also retained the habit of often going out through the dog hole to play, so Yun Wu did not find it strange.
The next morning, Xiaobai came back staggeringly by himself. No one knew where he had been hanging out, but his stomach was full.
"Which family's house did you go to for free food and drinks?"
Yun Wu squatted on the ground and touched Xiaobai's round belly helplessly.
Xiaobai rolled around at Yun Wu's feet and acted coquettishly. Seeing the "Xiaobai" jade pendant hanging around its neck, Yun Wu remembered the one she gave to Ji Siyan.
She lowered her eyes and took the jade pendant that Ji Siyan gave her in her hand and examined it carefully.
This was something Ji Siyan had worn since he was a child, but the gift she gave him in return was so perfunctory...
Yun Wu blinked twice guiltily. After thinking about it all night yesterday, she decided to prepare a new gift for Ji Siyan.
But Ji Siyan was the eldest son of the Xiangfu, and he had everything he needed on a daily basis. She really couldn't think of any rare things to give him...
Yun Wu thought of looking for Ji Siyan first to ask him about his preferences indirectly, but when she went to visit Yunshuiju next door, she found nothing.
"The Major General may be out because of work. Miss, why don't you come back later?"
Liu Yue said behind her, Yun Wu nodded absentmindedly, and for some reason she felt a little lost in her heart.
She had come to look for Ji Siyan previously with the intention of currying favor with him, so logically she didn't need to think too much about it, but she thought of Ji Siyan's reaction yesterday.
I was always worried that he would be angry because of the jade token...
But now for some reason Ji Siyan is not in Yunshuiju, so Yun Wu had to turn around and go back to her own yard.
Unexpectedly, she had just walked a few steps back when she heard someone calling her from behind. She turned around and found Ji Yao running towards her in a hurry.
"Cousin Awu, this is really a big problem..."
Ji Yao said with a sad face, she paused for a moment and slowed down her voice, then said with a worried look:
"Big brother was impeached by the Duke of Qi and many other officials because he privately investigated the military pay. Although the officials he caught were indeed corrupt, other officials wanted to punish him on the grounds of law to serve as a warning to others..."
"So, what's going on now?"
"Someone has come from the palace and wants you to come to the palace immediately. Daddy is already in the palace."
Ji Yao said with a sad face that although she was not close to Ji Siyan, her nominal brother, he was raised by her mother after all.
Besides, although she and Ji Chi were sometimes afraid of their elder brother, although his personality was cold, he was good to them. He was just not good at speaking and did not like to socialize with others.
"Cousin Awu, do you think my brother will be punished? Will he be sent to jail or something like that?"
Ji Yao said this with some concern, and Yun Wu had to pat the back of her hand to comfort her. For some reason, she was also very worried.
In the end, Yun Wu couldn't help but hurried to the front yard. She happened to see a carriage parked in front of the mansion. Ji Siyan's tall figure was particularly eye-catching. There was also a eunuch waiting beside the carriage. It was unknown what he said to him.
Yun Wu just watched from afar as Ji Siyan was getting ready to get on the carriage at the gate.
The man seemed to have noticed the gaze behind him. He suddenly turned his head before getting on the carriage. His cold and handsome eyes remained the same. He glanced at Yun Wu from a distance before turning around and getting on the carriage.
Yun Wu tossed and turned that night and couldn't sleep, so much so that when she woke up the next morning, there were dark circles under her eyes, which scared Liu Yue.
"Miss, you didn't sleep well last night and you look bad..."
Liuyue said with concern, and carefully applied some rouge and powder to cover Yun Wu up.
"Master Duan sent someone to send an invitation to Miss to attend the archery competition in the suburbs next month. Do you want to accept the invitation?"
Yun Wu's chosen marriage partner was Duan Qi. Now that he has taken the initiative to invite her, she should accept the invitation immediately and start preparing what to wear for that day.
But Yun Wu was in a bad mood today and had no intention of planning these things.
"Let's put it aside for now, and see if my second cousin and A Yao will go later..."
"Miss, are you worried about the Major General?"
Liuyue suddenly asked. Yun Wu, who was combing her long hair, suddenly paused and then lowered her eyes somewhat unnaturally.
"Although... I was looking for someone to rely on before, but he treated me well and seemed to really regard me as his sister. He even gave me his jade pendant. No matter what the reason, I hope he is safe..."
Yun Wu said softly that she was a person who liked to use some tricks and schemes, but she also had some conscience.
She clenched the handkerchief in her hand uncomfortably, thinking that she was just feeling guilty.
I heard Ji Yao mention before that Ji Siyan was not her mother's son. Although he was not the real son of the prime minister, he was still a member of the Ji family.
There shouldn't be any problem.
Until the afternoon, the atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Residence was still very depressing. There was no news from the palace at all, and there was a sense of silence before a storm.
It was not until nightfall that Prime Minister Ji, who had been in the palace for a day and a night, returned to his residence, but Ji Siyan did not follow him.
At the same time, it also brought extremely shocking news.
"What? You said that my eldest cousin is a prince?"
Yun Wu was surprised, and Ji Yao quickly asked her to speak in a lower voice. At this time, there were only the two of them in Yun Wu's room.
"Dad told us not to publicize it when he came back just now. When the imperial edict is passed from the palace tomorrow morning, the whole world will know about it."
Ji Yao said with a serious expression. To be honest, she still finds it unbelievable.
"But Daddy seems to have known about this all along. Wasn't my eldest brother impeached when he entered the palace yesterday? How come he became a prince again in just one day..."
Yun Wu was so shocked by the news that she was speechless. It was only after a long time that she felt a little scared.
Fortunately, she had the self-awareness to not seduce Ji Siyan. He is a member of the royal family. What if he is unhappy and chops off her head?
Wait... She also gave Ji Siyan the jade token she prepared for Xiao Bai. Could it be that he thought she was humiliating him and wanted to take revenge on her? !
In stark contrast to Yun Wu's worries, in the imperial study of the palace in the distance, a man who had already changed into the attire of a prince was sitting upright on the couch.
A lot of things happened in that short day, but in the end it was safe. He captured the Duke of Qi's confidant, and the Duke of Qi's plan to kill him was thwarted.
I'm afraid that Duke Qi, Queen Qi and Xiao Yichen will not be able to sleep well tonight. After all, there was only one prince, Xiao Yichen, in the royal family before, but after today there will be a fourth prince.
The emperor in front of him was drunk and talking incessantly with an excited look on his face.
"When I saw you as a child, I thought you looked like your mother. Over the years, due to the Duke of Qi's family... I didn't recognize you earlier. I am sorry for you."
"Your Majesty has drunk too much."
Ji Siyan said calmly, his eyes lowered with no sadness or joy on his face, his lips tightly pursed, but what he was thinking was...
I really want to see Awu.
She seemed to like power and wealth, and she didn't know if she was powerful enough now that she had regained her status as a prince...
At worst... he can be on the same level as Xiao Bai -
What was he thinking? He would never do such a thing!
As Ji Siyan was thinking about it, his ears suddenly turned red. He raised his hand, picked up the wine cup and took two sips of wine to cover it up.
